EASTON – Troy Selley is the newest Easton firefighter.

Selley, who lives in New Bedford, was sworn in at Easton’s Board of Selectmen Meeting at Town Hall Monday.

“We’re excited to bring Troy on as a member of the fire department,” Chief Kevin Partridge said. “He brings a lot of valuable experience, having worked in EMS for several years. His commitment to helping others is something we’re thankful for and we know he’ll make a great addition to our department.”

Selley worked for New Bedford EMS for five years, and also worked for Fall River EMS and a private ambulance service. He has been a paramedic for six years.

Selley will begin a 10-week firefighter training program at the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy in Stow on Feb. 23, Partridge said.

Selley joins a new batch of firefighters that include Christopher Brasells, Steven Wood and Matthew Alain, who were sworn in as firefighters on Nov. 27.

Selley, married with two children, was given a round of applause from the audience and a handshake from Partridge after he was sworn in by Town Clerk Danielle Sicard.
